BE PREPARED – Market Mondays w/ Ian Dunlap

[Music] And you said something that was key you Said like you got to have level of value And that's I didn't get a chance to say That but of course that's another part Of it right where it's like if you don't Have anything you have something to Bring to the table If you don't have anything to bring to The table we have no value and your Whole point of meeting with somebody is Just to pick their brain and just take In that scenario because it's like it It's not beneficial Because you you don't have any level of Value that you're bringing right so your Goal is to be as your goal in life Should be to be as most valuable person In the room and at the whole time so When you meet somebody because you're Going to meet somebody at some time That's a crazy thing like you're going To meet somebody and like I said top of The show you got to be prepared you Never know you're ready you never know Never know when you're going to meet Somebody that's the thing about it like You're going to meet somebody if if You're especially if you're intentional If you live in LA you're going to meet Somebody walking down the street like It's going to happen Are you prepared or are you not prepared Yep that's it that's the that's that's

What it all comes down to in life Because you might not have that meeting Ever again right now I have that Opportunity ever again So it's like Your whole life should be working to Make yourself valuable to make yourself A resource to have something that you Can you know change the world with and When you meet somebody that can help Change your life make sure you're in a Position to add value it's not about Just taking a picture That's important like this is a world That we live in people will pay money to Take a picture with somebody and I get It social media clout and it could Potentially lead to some level of you Know money in some in some regards and Dudes be taking pictures for cloud to Try and get something they don't deserve To go get and then get it and don't do Nothing with it but I'm saying it's a Trick bag of like yo I got co-signed by This person because they took they put The arm around me take a candidate I Know all the tricks take a candy picture So it looks like it's real So all right it's like you know yeah but But people say a lot of things on social Media And they don't fully understand what They're saying Because they've never experienced it and

That even me like there's things that I've never experienced So I can't I'm not qualified to speak on Certain things because I've never Experienced it it's not worth it to talk About when I do when I when I have Experienced certain things Makes me Authority in the space so when We talk about talking to billionaires We've spoken to at least 10 what are you Talking about Mark Cuban Diddy Robert Smith Tyler Perry Michaels dog peoples Um we just had them on Market Mondays A few weeks ago You could throw forward in the list Floyd Yes he had conversation with Dan Kathy Dan Kathy met him we didn't put them in Details and met him man and I'm gonna be Real I'm a huge fan of podcasts I told Y'all I've been listening to podcasts Since I was in college Tim Ferriss Lewis House I got love for them they ain't Pulled this off No No yeah twice Thanks so garyvee probably hit that in a Couple years like And just and I know because even when I Post it you know when someone has more Money than me now listen people like
